Space Station Mir in LEO

Space Station Mir is a semi-realistic rendition of the actual Soviet/Russian space station Mir featured in standard distribution of Orbiter space flight simulator (a closed source, freeware simulator by Martin Schweiger).


History and evolution

Space station Mir appeared for the first time in 010910 release of Orbiter . At this time it was placed in the wrong orbit, with inclination of degrees to ecliptic, instead of the actual inclination of degrees. This was done on purpose, as at that time Mir was meant to be a waypoint for the travel to the other destinations within Solar System. The inital mesh has been authored by Martin Schweiger.


Latest release

Latest release of Mir features a mesh by Jason Benson.
